This week has been a little rough in the dating world. I finally got he phone call from Mark... it was very disappointing! I could have over looked the high pitched voice or revenge of the nerds laugh but I can not over look the fact that he has no ambition, he's living at home with his parents, the fact that he slightly lied about his job or any number of the other things that i discovered through our conversation. I was so discouraged that I boycotted eharmony for the entire week. On top of that, communication has stopped with John. Not sure what happened with him. Then... I met another guy last Sat. His name is Rob and I had to go to Sears to buy a refrigerator for my mom. Well he was the sales manager that helped me with the purchase. I was totally caught off guard when he started flirting with me. Eventually he ended up getting my number and called on Monday. We spent the whole week talking, texting, flirting until Friday I stopped by the store to pick up the owner's manual for my mom's fridge and he walked me to my car and gave me a kiss goodbye. Very nice kiss... I have to admit. But then! He says... tonight I would love to just hibernate with you and "snuggle real close" wait... what?? I know what he meant, so I kind of did a double take and was like, ummm how bout we go on a date?? like outside of the house? His demeanor totally changed, he half heartedly agreed but I knew things had changed, and at that moment I figured out his true intentions. I haven't heard from him the rest of the weekend!! Can you believe that?? In some ways I was a little bit surprised but in other ways not so much. It seems to be such a common thing for men to not want to invest any time in pursuing a woman. I guess there are so many women that are giving it up right away that there isn't a need for courting or dating... they can just move on to the next customer shopping for appliances in Sears.
So... I've ended my eharmony boycott and it's back to the chopping block. I have a fresh batch of communicators! Wish me luck :)
good luck......seriously......prediction ....you will get lots of emails from guys that arent what you want....some guys trying to be real low key...some overly funny.....they will spill their inner workings for you RIGHT away which will turn you off.......and the two that you do decide on will turn out to be worthless......you will get lots of email attention though!!! Im sorry darlin I wish it were different!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to find your blog!!!! Cracked me up and glad to not be alone in this "fun" dating world. I'm running into a lot of guys that aren't wanting to put in a ton of effort. Can't remember the last time I went to a nice restaurant and movie. Let me know how eharmony works out, I gave up on online dating for a while.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know...I HATE dating too! Ugh. HATE it. Love your blog!
